Hmm well I know for a fact at least for me that 25 was no diffrent from any
other hell level. Of course on my other char I started killing treeants from
21-30. Through all those levels but level 30 I gained exp the same amount.
Usually a level a day if I put in a good amount of time. However 30 did take
3 days at the treeants so it was quite obvious 30 was a hell level.
Believe me it doesn't get any better currently my other char ( a necro ) hit
35 about 3 weeks ago. For some reason I chose that level to die over and
over. Everytime I got within two bubbles of leveling I would go and die two
times in a row. In fact overall I probably died at least 12 times :(.
Luckily I usually got a res. Still it's a pain to get through but the
satisfaction is good when you finish the level.
